Wu Zhao didn't know, and Li Yuanxing didn't know either. After Wu Zhao opened the barrel, the first thing he did was to send a confidential telegram to Jian'an, requesting that it be handed over to Lu Maofeng.
A banquet was held at the Prince of Qin's Mansion to celebrate the happiness of Princess Qin.
All the newspapers in Chang'an City urgently revised and reprinted the news. All the news that you originally used as the headlines was replaced by news that Princess Qin was happy. This was the biggest event in Chang'an and even the entire Tang Dynasty.
The Prince of Qin's Mansion held a banquet. In addition to entertaining the Chang'an gentry, some wedding cakes and the like were also prepared for the common people outside the door.
Abalone and sea cucumber appeared in the newspaper for the first time. There was a pharmacology written by His Highness the King of Qin himself, as well as some opinions given by Sun Shenxian after his first visit. At the same time, it was stated that after detailed verification, Sun Shenxian would publish another pharmacological medical record.
.
Ingredients that surprised even His Highness the King of Qin: abalone, ginseng from the sea, and sea cucumber.
What ordinary people are most concerned about is how much these ingredients cost and whether they can enjoy it. Even if it is like eating meat for the first time during the Chinese New Year when they were poor, they are also looking forward to it.
Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty personally came to General Tiance's Mansion, and as their elder brothers and fathers, they came as hosts to welcome the guests. Naturally, no one dared to let these two people come to greet the guests. However, with this intention,
Even the eunuch in charge was waiting at the door to greet him, which was also a royal gift.
"Don't tell Wu Lang about this matter for the time being. The war ahead is important, and Wu Lang must not be distracted." Li Er wrote an imperial edict on the spot, requiring the entire Chang'an City to keep this secret for the time being. In fact, as long as the telegraph office is controlled, there will be
Explain it to the people on the flying boat. If Li Yuanxing wants to know, it will probably be a month later.
Li Yuan and Li Er both had the same thought.
Moreover, the two of them thought exactly the same thing. They were afraid that Li Yuanxing would say that he had a son and would do some good deeds, so he would be easy-going. Now it was a war, so he had to be hateful enough.
The two emperors nodded at the same time and smiled.
Only then did he start to pay attention to the large barrels, and he smiled again when he saw them. Because Wu Zhao was being carried by people. People were opening the barrels one after another, as if they were looking for something.
Li Yuan and Li Er walked to an open bucket. It seemed that apart from the sea water, there was also the sea treasure called abalone.
"What's the difference? Or what is Wulang hiding?" Li Yuan asked Li Er.
Li Er also shook his head. When the two emperors came to Wu Zhao, Li Er asked: "Mingyue, what are you looking for?"
"Super premium abalone! Super sea king ginseng!" Wu Zhao finished his answer and then motioned to continue opening the next wooden barrel.
When Li Er and Li Yuan heard it, it was super! If Wu Zhao could add a super in front, it would be enough to represent extraordinary.
There was nothing in the opened bucket, so Wu Zhao was disappointed and signaled to continue looking. Then he explained to Li Er: "Your Majesty, I don't know something. Li Yuanxing, a foodie, has eaten the largest abalone in the past, but it was only a sixth-grade or fifth-grade abalone.
The sea cucumber is only two inches long, and there is a saying about abalone that it is difficult to buy second-grade abalone if you have money."
After Wu Zhao finished speaking, he explained the rules for grading abalone.
Then Wu Zhao said: "I'm even more pitiful. I have never even seen wild abalone. I have only eaten artificially cultured sixth-grade abalone. This thing is a delicacy in the world. I must find the super-super-grade abalone that Li Yuanxing said."
It weighs two kilograms, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!"
Li Er and Li Yuan laughed at the same time.
Wu Zhao's words about delicious food in the world misled them. Some things are delicious in the human world, but heaven does not pay attention to them. Naturally, it is difficult to find them, but it also proves that Wu Zhao's status in heaven is not as high as that of Li Yuanxing.
Hearing the drooling, Zheng Xiuyan also boldly ran over and asked the people around her to help.
Finally, Tang Jin's top-quality abalone, which was bigger than Wu Zhao's head and as big as a washbasin, weighing two to three ounces, was discovered. There were thirty abalones in that bucket, and the smallest one weighed one and a half kilograms.
It's the best abalone.
"Ah!" Wu Zhao exclaimed: "I won't exchange it for a piece of gold!"
"I won't exchange it for two pieces of gold!" Zheng Xiuyan didn't know how to eat this thing, but the delicacy that would make Princess Mingyue exclaim would definitely be good.
Wu Zhao picked out the smallest one. Tang Jin weighed more than one pound and four taels, which is close to 900 grams in modern times. "Ming Yue just wants this one. The Holy Emperor and the Supreme Emperor will enjoy the biggest one."
Li Er laughed: "Pick the biggest ones and I will share them with you."
It was just about eating. Li Er didn't have the intention to occupy everything, but Li Yuan took the one picked by Wu Zhao and said: "This one belongs to me. You also need some rewards. These goods have not been recorded in the account, which shows that it is Wu Lang."
If you don't care about the food, Mingyue girl will make the decision!"
Abalone!
Wu Zhao's eyes widened. The abalone weighed nearly three kilograms. Wu Zhao's reaction was the same as when Li Yuanxing first saw it. My god, there is such a huge abalone. In modern times, Ye Qiu Shuang had never eaten wild abalone.
Abalone, I have never even thought about it. In Datang, such natural wild abalone is available.
Wu Zhao could no longer describe his mood at this time.
The one-foot-long sea cucumber is called sea king cucumber. It is estimated that eating this thing can cause several liters of nosebleeds.
At this time, in the small fishing village next to Jian'an City, Lu Maofeng was inspecting the fishery in the village. He called the village chief and chatted while walking: "Don't pick up too many of these things, because they won't be valuable if they are too much. Those are very big.
Of course we have to keep the big ones, and we have to be able to keep some big ones in the future.”
"You are absolutely right!"
"You have to improve the methods of drying kelp and sea vegetables, and I will teach you the methods of artificial breeding of abalone and sea cucumber. The Prince of Qin's Palace has always done things fairly."
Lu Maofeng kept the topic going with each sentence.
Finally, the village chief said: "The little old man heard that the reward this time was huge, and the little old man was scared."
"What price do you think should be set for the ninth-grade abalone, and what price do you think should be set for the first-grade abalone?" Lu Maofeng finally had the opportunity to ask. At least he needed to know what the fishermen were thinking.
The village chief didn't seem to think about it, and immediately said, the elders of dozens of nearby villages have already discussed it. It's not easy for us to get into the water. Naturally, a ninth-grade one costs one penny, and a first-grade one costs nine pence. Or give it.
A whole piece costs ten cents. For the top quality ones, the price will be calculated separately.
The village chief thought simply. If you dive into the sea, you can pick up a basket of these things. Of course, the bigger ones are more precious and the price will naturally be higher.
Lu Maofeng laughed.
"If you think it's inappropriate, just say so. His Highness said it's his decision, and I'm just making up my own mind."
Lu Maofeng shook his head gently: "I just know what His Highness means is to double it by adding one level, but this algorithm is a bit weird, and I am not an arithmetician. To give a simple analogy, for example, a ninth grade is worth a penny.
The eighth grade is five coins and two coins, the seventh grade is ten coins and three coins. His Highness said, the sixth grade is one threshold. The sixth grade is thirty coins, the fifth grade is forty coins, the fourth grade is fifty coins. The third grade is
Above, the price of first-grade, third-grade, and second-grade products is what I can think of. The price of first-grade products can only be considered royal. Above that, needless to say!"
The old village chief opened his mouth in surprise. He had thought that this thing was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Lu Maofeng added: "The mathematician in the mansion thinks that we can still calculate by kilogram. Those below the ninth rank are divided into ten, eleven, and twelve, such small ones. However, I am afraid that the kilogram will be short, so until now I have not
I didn’t come up with a plan. But I think it’s a good idea to discuss the number of heads.”
The village chief just nodded.
"Learn how to raise these things, and six abalones will grow in just two years. Think about it, even if one is ten cents, you can be rich. His Highness said, no matter how many things there are in the sea, if there are endless people
If you try to catch them, there will be nothing. I was a hunter when I was young, and all old hunters know the rules of sealing the mountains. Don’t fight the mother animals, and don’t fight the cubs. You rely on the sea to eat, but you must also learn to respect the sea. The sea has gifts.
, but people can’t be greedy!”
The old village chief knelt down and kowtowed to Dahai.
What Lu Maofeng said makes sense.
This is indeed what Li Yuanxing said, but right now these few villages are relying on manpower to enter the water. Even if they are given ten thousand years, they will not be able to destroy this marine resource.
What Li Yuanxing is afraid of is the big fishing boats.
At this time, Li Yuanxing no longer cared about the small fishing village. A small fishing village had very little impact on the entire Tang Dynasty. He just made a start, telling the world that there are treasures in the sea.
But there will naturally be a rule on how to obtain the treasure. This rule will be formally discussed by Tianying Pavilion and officially issued by the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites.
Sitting in the temporary study room in Jian'an City, Li Yuanxing was concerned about how to dig diamonds and when to start digging.
Will it affect these Goguryeo cities that have just surrendered?
The reason why Li Yuanxing did not use force in the area between Beisha City and Anshi City was that during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was still Han people's land here. There were a large number of Han people here, as well as families who mixed Han and Goguryeo families, and
Mixed blood, etc. Generally speaking, they are biased towards the Tang Dynasty.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs is already preparing to send people to take over the government affairs and defense of these cities.
Looking through the information in his hand, Li Yuanxing subconsciously called out: "Qiuxiang!" Only then did he realize that Qiuxiang was still in Chang'an.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Here comes someone!"
Lu Maofeng was still a small fishing village, and the person who came in was a captain.
"Two things. One is to ask the Minister of Rites, Wang Shangshu, in my name. Some of the clerical work around me is handled by the female officials in the palace, asking if it is possible to recruit female officials to Jian'an. The second is to send a telegram to Li Yuanchang.
Come quickly with his men, I have something for them to do!"
Li Yuanchang was also a named prince, and only Li Yuanxing dared to call him by his first name.
Wang Jishan was in the city, discussing etiquette issues with the Ministry of Rites, Yuan Tiangang and others regarding the Beijing Temple.
The guard came over to talk about the matter.
Wang Jishan nodded slightly and whispered to several officials next to him.
